Feature-rich Sensor Hub for Connecting Sensors PLANET LN502 is an advanced outdoor solar-powered LoRa node controller designed for efficient data acquisition from various sensors. It features versatile I/O interfaces, including digital inputs, digital outputs, and serial ports, ensuring seamless deployment and maintenance of LoRaWAN networks. For user convenience, the LN502 can be quickly configured via a wired USB connection. Ideal for outdoor applications, it supports multiple power options, including solar power, a built-in battery, or an external DC power supply (9–48V). Additionally, its IP67-rated enclosure and M12 connectors provide robust protection against water, dust, and harsh environmental conditions. LoRaWAN-based Controller with Rich Industrial Interfaces The LN502 is LoRaWAN-compatible and comes with built-in multiple industrial interfaces to connect to all types of sensors, meters and other appliances. It also bridges Modbus data between serial and Ethernet network via LoRaWAN. The LN502 supports LoRaWAN class A, B and C protocols and is compatible with standard LoRaWAN gateways including PLANET LCG-300 series. RS232 RS485 2 x Digital Input 2 x Digital Output 3.3V and 5V DC output The LN502 is ideal for large-scale IoT application deployments, such as projects for building automation, smart metering, HVAC system, etc. with multiple interfaces. PLANET LN502 can perfectly help retrofit legacy assets for IoT enablement. LoRa and LoRaWAN Wireless Technology LoRa or long range is a physical proprietary radio communication technique. It is based on spread spectrum modulation techniques derived from chirp spread spectrum (CSS) technology. LoRa is a long range, low power wireless platform that has become the de facto wireless platform of Internet of Things (IoT). LoRaWAN defines the communication protocol and system architecture. The LN502, supporting Modbus protocol and serial communication, is ideal for LoRa-enabled devices in the IoT system. Multiple LoRa Frequency Bands The LN502 supports the following license-free sub-gigahertz radio frequency bands, EU868 (863 to 870 MHz) in Europe AU915/AS923-1 (915 to 928 MHz) in South America US915 (902 to 928 MHz) in North America IN865 (865 to 867 MHz) in India AS923 (915 to 928 MHz) in Asia KR920 (920 to 923 MHz) in South Korea RU864 (864 to 870 MHz)
